I have a d-link card that uses the prism drivers. I know that for the 2.4 kernel I had to actually compile and use the pcmcia-cs modules for the Wan Card to work. The actual kernel driver/module did not work and I had to use the one that was compiled by the package.
For the 2.6 Kernel, I had the exact opposite problem; I had to compile everything from the kernel to get the wan card working.
